Monaco Boost, the business incubator, hosted a visit from ten Year 11 (Seconde) pupils from Lycée FANB on Tuesday 21 June, as part of an initiative to introduce them to different careers organised by the Committee for Graduate Employment.

The young people, who have a particular interest in entrepreneurship, were able to tour the incubator’s premises and learn about the different stages in starting a company or business in the Principality of Monaco. They also had an opportunity to meet several of the entrepreneurs accommodated at Monaco Boost, who shared their experiences, their successes and, in some cases, their challenges, too. They explained the choices that had led them towards this career path and prompted them to create their businesses.

The pupils were won over by their visit, and the insights they gained into the world of business and this tool that has been made available to Monegasque entrepreneurs, who create and innovate in an atmosphere of collaborative dialogue and networking.

Next year, the pupils will be able to continue to explore the concept of entrepreneurship through, among other things, conferences led jointly by the Committee for Graduate Employment and the Junior Chamber International Monaco.
